Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the present application belongs to the technical field of computer-aided medical treatment and surgical planning, and particularly relates to a unicompartmental mobile platform surgical planning method and a computer device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a kind of surgery for treating damage or degeneration in a specific area of the knee joint. By removing the damaged cartilage and part of the bone, and implanting a prosthesis, it can help patients recover the corresponding function after surgery. Preoperative prosthesis planning can provide an accurate surgical plan for intraoperative replacement.

[0003] In the prior art, the prosthesis planning of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is mainly carried out for fixed platforms. For example, the Chinese patent application No. 202510679312.8 “Unicompartmental surgical prosthesis planning method, device and computer device” is such a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty planning method for fixed platforms. One of the differences between fixed platforms and mobile platforms in the field of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is whether the tibial spacer (pad) can move on the tibial tray. In the fixed platform, the tibial spacer is firmly locked on the tibial tray and cannot move; while in the mobile platform, the tibial spacer can rotate and move on the surface of the tibial tray. In addition, the femoral prosthesis in the mobile platform is a spherical prosthesis, and the bone cutting operation before implanting the spherical prosthesis is quite different from the bone cutting operation in the surgical plan of the fixed platform, which leads to the fact that the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty plan for the fixed platform cannot be directly applied to the surgical plan of the mobile platform. There is a lack of effective unicompartmental knee prosthesis planning method for mobile platforms in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0059] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system configurations, techniques, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

[0060] The technical solutions of the present application are described below through specific embodiments.

[0061] Referring to Figure 1 , a schematic diagram of a single-cone active platform surgery planning method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, which can specifically include the following steps:

[0062] S101, determining a plurality of prostheses to be planned.

[0063] It should be noted that the present method can be applied to a computer device, i.e., the execution subject of the embodiments of the present application can be a computer device. Through executing each step of the planning method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the computer device can determine the most suitable prosthesis for intraoperative use based on the shape of the prosthesis and the actual situation of the knee joint part of the patient requiring surgery, etc., and use it for preoperative planning to obtain an accurate preoperative planning scheme. The above computer device can be any type of electronic device capable of preoperative planning, such as a computer-aided medical device or other desktop computers, notebook computers, etc. capable of carrying out the corresponding function implementation. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of computer device.

[0064] The surgical procedure to which the embodiments of the present application are applicable is single-cone active platform surgery, i.e., single-cone knee joint replacement surgery based on an active platform. As previously introduced, one of the differences between fixed platforms and active platforms in the field of single-cone knee joint replacement surgery is whether the tibial pad (spacer) can move on the tibial tray. In a fixed platform, the tibial pad is firmly locked on the tibial tray and cannot move; while in an active platform, the tibial pad can rotate and move on the surface of the tibial tray. The femoral prosthesis in the active platform is a spherical prosthesis, including an inner spherical surface and an outer spherical surface. When cutting the bone, a spherical surface is drilled out in the distal end direction of the femur using a tool, and then a plane is cut out on the posterior condyle of the femur using a machine.

[0065] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , they are respectively a schematic diagram of a femoral prosthesis and a tibial prosthesis provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, Figure 2The femoral prosthesis shown in the figure is a spherical prosthesis, which has a spherical outer shape, including an outer spherical surface 201 and an inner spherical surface 202. Figure 3 The tibial prosthesis shown in the figure includes a tibial tray 301 and a tibial pad 302, wherein the tibial pad 302 can rotate and move on the surface of the tibial tray 301.

[0066] Therefore, the plurality of prostheses to be planned includes a plurality of femoral prostheses and a plurality of tibial prostheses that can be used for unicompartmental mobile platform surgery. One of the purposes of the embodiments of the present application is to evaluate a plurality of femoral prostheses and a plurality of tibial prostheses through preoperative planning, and to determine the most suitable prosthesis for unicompartmental mobile platform surgery, i.e. the target femoral prosthesis and the target tibial prosthesis.

[0067] S102, placing the femoral prosthesis with the femoral distal point in the pre-constructed femoral three-dimensional model as the center, and adjusting the femoral prosthesis to the target position of the femur.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the pre-constructed femoral three-dimensional model can be a femoral three-dimensional model of the knee joint surgery site of the patient. Before the operation, the knee joint of the patient can be scanned using an imaging device to obtain medical images of the surgery site, and then a three-dimensional reconstruction can be used to establish a knee joint three-dimensional model including a femoral three-dimensional model and a tibial three-dimensional model.

[0069] For the pre-constructed femoral three-dimensional model, corresponding landmark points, i.e. femoral landmark points, can be marked in the model, and a femoral coordinate system can be established based on the marked femoral landmark points.

[0070] As Figure 4 shown is a schematic diagram of a femoral landmark point provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 4 , the femoral landmark points include a femoral head center point 401, an external epicondyle point 402, an internal epicondyle point 403, a femoral distal lateral point 404, a femoral distal medial point 405, a femoral posterior condyle lateral point 406, a femoral posterior condyle medial point 407, and a femoral distal center point 408, etc.

[0071] The steps of establishing a femoral coordinate system based on the above femoral landmark points can include the following steps 1.1-1.4:

[0072] 1.1 Calculate the midpoint of the line connecting the internal epicondyle point and the external epicondyle point as , and set the femoral head center point as F, and obtain the Y-axis vector of the femoral coordinate system as ;

[0073] 1.2 Establish a point-plane formula plane with point and vector ;

[0074] 1.3 Set the femoral posterior condyle medial point in the plane the projection point of the lateral point of the posterior condyle of the femur on the plane is the projection point of the lateral point of the posterior condyle of the femur on the plane is It should be noted that if the surgical side is the right side, the direction of the X-axis vector is reversed.

[0075] 1.4 The vector is obtained by multiplying the vector by the vector , and the Z-axis vector of the femoral coordinate system is obtained.

[0076] After the construction of the femoral three-dimensional model and the femoral coordinate system is completed, the planned femoral prosthesis can be evaluated. First, the distal end point of the femur in the pre-constructed femoral three-dimensional model can be placed as the center of the femoral prosthesis. The distal end point of the femur can be the distal end of the surgical side of the femur. In the actual surgical process, the surgical side can be divided into the medial side or the lateral side, or it can also be divided into the left side or the right side. Therefore, the distal end point of the femur can be selected as the medial distal end point of the femur (femoral distal medial point) or the lateral distal end point of the femur (femoral distal lateral point) according to the actual situation.

[0077] Specifically, the origin of the femoral prosthesis can be determined first. The origin of the femoral prosthesis may be the distal end point of the surgical side of the femur. The computer device can establish a rotation matrix based on the distal end point of the surgical side of the femur and the femoral coordinate system, and place the femoral prosthesis according to the rotation matrix . The initial position of the femoral prosthesis in the femoral three-dimensional model can be represented by a pose matrix of the femoral prosthesis, which is:

[0078]

[0079] That is, the computer device can determine the origin of the femoral prosthesis in the pre-constructed femoral three-dimensional model, establish a rotation matrix with the X, Y and Z axes of the femoral coordinate system, and place the femoral prosthesis according to the pose matrix T F .

[0080] The above operation is only to place the femoral prosthesis at a certain position in the surgical site, which may not be the most appropriate position for placing the prosthesis. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the femoral prosthesis to move it to the target position of the femur.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, at the target position of the femur, the distance from the spherical center of the femoral prosthesis to the intersection point of the femur is equal to the outer spherical radius of the femoral prosthesis.

[0082] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, adjusting the femoral prosthesis to the target femoral position may include:

[0083] The femoral prosthesis is displaced along the normal vector direction of the distal spherical surface, and the first femoral intersection point where the normal vector of the distal spherical surface intersects the femur is determined in real time; the displacement of the femoral prosthesis is stopped when the distance from the center of the femoral prosthesis to the first femoral intersection point is equal to the radius of the outer spherical surface of the femoral prosthesis.

[0084] Then, the femoral prosthesis is displaced along the normal vector direction of the posterior condyle section, and the second femoral intersection point where the normal vector of the posterior condyle section intersects the femur is determined in real time; the displacement of the femoral prosthesis is stopped when the distance from the center of the femoral prosthesis to the second femoral intersection point is equal to the outer spherical radius of the femoral prosthesis.

[0085] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the normal vector of the distal femoral spherical surface of the femoral prosthesis outward is N. D The position of the femoral prosthesis origin t F That is, the center of the prosthetic sphere, along N D The direction can determine the intersection point (first femoral intersection point) of the distal spherical normal vector and the femur as t. D When displacing a femoral prosthesis, one can first measure the distance from the distal spherical surface of the prosthesis to the normal vector N. D The prosthesis is displaced in the direction of displacement, resulting in a prosthesis position t. F to intersection point t D The distance is equal to the radius of the outer spherical surface of the femoral prosthesis.

[0086] Then, the prosthesis is further displaced along the normal vector direction of the posterior condyle section, so that the distance from the prosthesis position to the femoral intersection point (second femoral intersection point) on the normal vector of the posterior condyle section is also equal to the outer spherical radius of the femoral prosthesis.

[0087] After completing the above two movements of the femoral prosthesis, the position after the movement can be considered as the target position of the femur.

[0088] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a femoral placement position according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 The femoral prosthesis 501 shown can be with Figure 2 The femoral prosthesis shown is the same as the one described above. After determining the specific placement location by following the steps described above, the femoral prosthesis 501 can be placed at that location. Figure 5 The diagram shown is a specific example of placing a femoral prosthesis 501 at the surgical site.

[0089] S103. Calculate the femoral cross-section coverage when the femoral prosthesis is at the target position on the femur.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, since the femoral prosthesis used in the mobile platform unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is a spherical prosthesis, the distal end of which is spherical. Therefore, when calculating the femoral section coverage, only the coverage between the posterior condyle section of the prosthesis and the posterior condyle section of the femur can be calculated. The femoral section coverage refers to the ratio between the corresponding sectional area of the posterior condyle section of the femoral prosthesis in the posterior condyle section of the femur and the total area of the posterior condyle section of the femur.

[0091] Specifically, the first area of the posterior condyle section of the femoral prosthesis relative to the posterior condyle section of the femur in the three-dimensional model of the femur can be determined, and the second area of the posterior condyle section of the femur can be determined. Then, the ratio of the first area to the second area is calculated to obtain the femoral section coverage.

[0092] For any femoral prosthesis to be planned, a femoral section coverage can be calculated in the above manner. By performing S104, the target femoral prosthesis can be determined from the plurality of femoral prostheses according to the femoral section coverage.

[0093] S104, determining the target femoral prosthesis from the plurality of femoral prostheses according to the femoral section coverage.

[0094] Specifically, for the plurality of femoral prostheses to be planned, the femoral section coverage corresponding to each femoral prosthesis can be compared. In one example, the femoral prosthesis corresponding to the maximum femoral section coverage can be selected as the target femoral prosthesis. In another example, a coverage threshold can be set, and any femoral prosthesis with a femoral section coverage greater than the coverage threshold can be selected as the target femoral prosthesis, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0095] S105, determining the target tibial prosthesis from the plurality of tibial prostheses, and performing preoperative planning of the unicompartmental mobile platform knee arthroplasty based on the target tibial prosthesis and the target femoral prosthesis.

[0096] After the target femoral prosthesis is determined, the computer device can determine the target tibial prosthesis from the plurality of tibial prostheses in a similar manner, so as to perform preoperative planning of the unicompartmental mobile platform arthroplasty based on the target tibial prosthesis and the target femoral prosthesis, and obtain the corresponding planning scheme.

[0097] The specific process of determining the target tibial prosthesis from the plurality of tibial prostheses can be referred to the content in the Chinese patent application No. 202510679312.8, "Unicompartmental arthroplasty prosthesis planning method, device and computer device", which will not be repeated here.

[0098] In this embodiment, for unicompartmental knee replacement surgery on a mobile platform, the cross-sectional coverage of each prosthesis after implantation can be evaluated during the preoperative planning stage. Based on this cross-sectional coverage, suitable target femoral and tibial prostheses can be determined from multiple prostheses for preoperative planning. Since the femoral prosthesis used in unicompartmental knee replacement surgery on a mobile platform is a spherical prosthesis, this embodiment places the femoral prosthesis with the distal femoral end in the three-dimensional femoral model as the center, and then moves it to the optimal target position through position adjustment. At this target position, the distance from the center of the femoral prosthesis to the femoral junction is equal to the outer spherical radius of the femoral prosthesis. This allows the placement of the spherical prosthesis to be determined based on its actual shape characteristics during the preoperative planning stage, ensuring the rationality and reliability of subsequent planning, and thus ensuring the safety of unicompartmental surgery performed on the mobile platform.

[0099] In one possible implementation of this application, after preoperative planning based on the target tibial prosthesis and the target femoral prosthesis, the placement effect of the prosthesis in the active platform can be simulated, thereby making further adjustments to the preoperative planning based on the simulated prosthesis placement effect.

[0100] Specifically, the placement effect of the target femoral prosthesis and the target tibial prosthesis can be simulated on the moving platform. The simulation process for the target femoral prosthesis and the target tibial prosthesis is described below.

[0101] (1) Target femoral prosthesis

[0102] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is a step-by-step illustration of simulating the placement effect of a femoral prosthesis according to an embodiment of this application. The process of simulating the placement effect of the target femoral prosthesis may include the following steps S601-S604:

[0103] S601. Determine the first target normal vector, which is the cross product between the normal vector of the posterior condyle section of the target femoral prosthesis and the normal vector of the distal spherical surface.

[0104] In this embodiment, the first target normal vector is obtained by multiplying the normal vector of the posterior condyle section of the femoral prosthesis by the normal vector of the distal spherical surface of the femoral prosthesis. This first target normal vector can be represented as normal vector N. ML .

[0105] The above normal vector N ML It can be used in subsequent steps to establish a multi-point normal plane.

[0106] S602. Based on the first target normal vector and the outer and inner spherical radii of the target femoral prosthesis, establish multiple first-point normal planes respectively.

[0107] The target femoral prosthesis is a spherical prosthesis consisting of an outer spherical surface and an inner spherical surface. The radii of the outer spherical surface and the inner spherical surface are not equal, with the outer spherical surface having a larger radius than the inner spherical surface.

[0108] Based on normal vector N ML When establishing a point-normal plane with respect to the outer and inner spherical radii, one can first use the origin of the femoral prosthesis at the aforementioned normal vector N. ML By adding or subtracting the radius of the inner sphere in the direction, we obtain two points, which we will denote here as points A and B. and Then, respectively with and Establish point normal plane ,by and Establish point normal plane .

[0109] On the other hand, the normal vector N of the distal spherical surface of the femoral prosthesis can be taken as the origin of the femoral prosthesis. D Subtracting the radius of the outer sphere from the direction yields point t. UP and with that point t UP and normal vector N D Establish point-normal plane PL UP .

[0110] The above point-normal plane , and PL UP They can be collectively referred to as the first point normal plane.

[0111] S603. Determine multiple femoral grid points that are simultaneously located above multiple first point French planes.

[0112] In this step, the femoral grid points can be filtered to determine those that simultaneously lie in the aforementioned point-normal plane. , and PL UP The above femoral mesh points are used for subsequent calculations.

[0113] S604. Project the multiple femoral grid points onto the corresponding spheres or sections to simulate the effect of placing the target femoral prosthesis in the active platform.

[0114] In this embodiment, an inner hemisphere can be established with the center of the target femoral prosthesis as the center, and the direction of the inner hemisphere can be the same as the direction of the distal end of the femoral prosthesis. Then, multiple femoral grid points located above the distal spherical surface of the target femoral prosthesis are determined, and these distal femoral points are projected onto the inner hemisphere.

[0115] Similarly, multiple femoral grid points located above the posterior condyle section of the target femoral prosthesis can be projected onto the posterior condyle section of the femur.

[0116] On the other hand, a cylindrical surface can also be established based on the inner spherical radius of the target femoral prosthesis, and the axis of this cylindrical surface can be point t. F and point t UP The lines are then connected. Then, multiple femoral mesh points located above the cylindrical surface are projected onto the cylindrical surface. This simulates the effect of placing the target femoral prosthesis in a moving platform.

[0117] (2) Target tibial prosthesis

[0118] like Figure 7 The diagram shown is a step-by-step illustration of simulating the placement effect of a tibial prosthesis according to an embodiment of this application. The process of simulating the placement effect of the target tibial prosthesis may include the following steps S701-S703:

[0119] S701. Determine the second target normal vector, the direction of which is the same as the X-axis direction of the tibial prosthesis coordinate system.

[0120] In this embodiment, the X-axis direction of the tibial prosthesis coordinate system can be used as the second target normal vector based on the tibial prosthesis pose, serving as the basis for subsequent operations. This second target normal vector can be represented as N. X .

[0121] S702. Based on the second target normal vector, establish multiple second point normal planes and determine multiple tibial grid points that are simultaneously located above the multiple second point normal planes.

[0122] Then, using the origin of the tibial prosthesis, at N... X Add or subtract a certain value L in the direction ML This yields two points. The above L... ML The specific value can be determined according to actual needs.
